Possession by Laila Ali (best authors to read txt) 📕

The only option left was to ask Irtaza to leave Daniyal and she anticipated his response. How he'll act? Moreover, she didnt has the courage to face him after today's incident.

She was confused. Her life was totally crumbled and messed up.

"Zahra there is only one solution left if you want to save Daniyal." Haseeb said, dragging her attention.

"What?" She quickly asked.

"I'm not sure whether this plan will work or not. But you can talk to Irtaza bhai and tell your story from the very start and then promise him that you'll stay loyal to him forever and forget Daniyal. After that demand from him to release Daniyal. You can kill two birds with a stone then. Daniyal will be freed and your life can be normal again. But only if you forget Daniyal and stay loyal to Bhai. Thats the only solution my mind came up with. And it makes no difference, at the end you'll have to leave Daniyal and live with Irtaza Bhai. The sooner you accept it, the better for you. Then why not now and it might improve your current state. I know how disheveled and crumbled you're feeling.."

"But you said, he... dont let go betr...ayals easily"

"Your case might be different. If you talk with him openly and convince somehow that you'll never backstab him again and stop loving Daniyal, then there might be a thin possibility he'll trust you again. Just a thin possibility. I'm not sure whether this plan will work or not."

Stop loving Daniyal?

That thought never had crossed her mind. How can she so easily forget him. It all seemed next to impossible to her. Love was not a joke to her. His words were striking like a sharp knife on her heart. He was telling the truth. 

She was sure cant run away from Irtaza anymore. 

She cant be united with Daniyal again.

Everything was reality.

And this reality was breaking her bit by bit.

"Its not easy Haseeb."

"But its not impossible Zahra. Just think, with open and relaxed mind, whatever I've said might seem sensible and possible to you then."

"I dont know what to do." She whispered, clearing her tears.

"Take your time Zahra."

She nodded and stood up, leaving the room.

"Thankyou so much Haseeb. Thankyou so much." She said and left his room.

As soon as she reached her room, she was in tears. She fell on her bed and begin to sob badly. Her whole face turned red with her sobs and cries. She was feeling heartbroken. She was finding no meaning of life now. She felt like a hollow shell. Her life was crumbling. Every dream she had, she was now not able to achieve it.

"Ya Allah Why?! Why?! Why?! Why my everything is taken away from me?! Why my Baba left me?! Why?! Why Shoaib harassed me?! Why me?! Why I had to leave my house?! Why Irtaza married me?! (hiccup) Why I've to leave Daniyal?! (hiccup) Why Ya Allah?! Why always me?! Why every bad thing happens to me?! You don't love me Allah?! Am I not your creature?! Don't you love me more than 70 mothers?! (hiccup) Why I'm breaking Allah?! Why have you made my life like this?! My every hope is shattering! I've no will to live! I want to die! Please take my life! There is no use of living anymore! I cant find any purpose in my life now! (hiccup) I'm broken, totally broken! You've taken my everything away from me! I don't want to leave Daniyal! I don't want to marry Irtaza! No one cares about what I want!(hiccup) I dont know what he'll do with me Ya Allah. I dont know what he has thought for me in his mind." She cried wholeheartedly, her whole face was blotched and eyes blood red as her face was dug in the pillow.

Her whole energy was drained, the events of the whole day and Irtaza's manhandling had made her tired and soon a deep slumber engulfed her.

She believed in Allah but her faith was dwindled by a small blow of difficult circumstances. When Shoaib used to constantly harass her, she used to pray then, pray with her whole heart to save her from Shoaib but as if her prayers wasn't answered, Shoaib continued to harass her making her depress more and more. Then at last she stopped praying salah. She stopped praying. She thought Allah hates her. She thought Allah will never listen to her ever again. 

But why was she forgetting that Allah is the most merciful, the most Beneficent, Who is closer to you even than you juglar vein, Who loves you more than 70 mothers, how He can leave His creature alone? He is the creator. And He is indeed the best of planners. What He has planned for His creature is the best. She wasn't trusting God's plan. Her faith was similar to a weak, thin string which could be broken by a sudden single tug.

But it doesn't matter how many steps you've moved away from Allah, you can come back with a single step of repentance.

She was in a deep sleep when suddenly the room to her door opened and entered Irtaza. His eyes fell on her sleeping form, she was snorting like a child making him smile.

He closed the door and moved towards her fragile body. He squatted down on reaching the side of her bed and his face levelled hers. Slowly, he moved his fingers on her face and tucked the stray strands of hair behind her ear. Her face was clear to him now. It was blotched and red.

His lips formed a thin line in recognition and it was not easy for him to put two and two together. She has been crying severely.

He analysed her face, she still seemed innocent to him, she still seemed unique to him. He caressed his fingers on her cheeks. His eyes pouring out love for her when suddenly all her games ran in his mind.

'This innocent face is just a facade. She is not unique, neither innocent rather she's a cunning and manipulative woman who plays with the hearts of two men at the same time.' His brain spoke.

And his jaw clenched.

"Save your tears Zahra." He uttered and left the room.
